SPC AC 221717
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1117 AM CST Sat Jan 22 2022
Valid 231200Z - 241200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated weak thunderstorms are possible across southeast Arizona
and southwest New Mexico on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
On Sunday, a dry air mass will cover most of the CONUS with a high
over the Pacific Northwest and a surface ridge from the upper MS
Valley into TX. This will maintain dry offshore flow across the Gulf
of Mexico and western Atlantic.
During the day, a deep upper low will move east across far southern
AZ and NM, reaching the southern High Plains by 12Z Monday. Although
absolute moisture levels will be low, very cold air aloft combined
with daytime heating may yield sufficient instability to support
isolated convection, mainly over the higher terrain over southeast
AZ, the eastern Mogollon Rim and into western NM. While elevated
moisture around 700 mb may develop farther east across NM and west
TX overnight, thunderstorm chances appear low.
